Will two 1" bulkheads be enough for 60 gallon breeder? 600 gallon per hour + passive/gravity flow?

Title says it all. . . I bought a bunch of 1" plumbing for a 40 gallon. . . but really thinking about that 60 life. . .

Yes. I have two 1" on my 140...

And it's a Herbie, so really only one is being used.

Hmm but that is to full siphon, which I wont have. . .

I run a 1 inch on my 90 gallon just fine. Only one drain not a herbie

Running siphoned? What is your return flow?

It's a durso the most basic. I'm running a 900 gph pump, with headspace 550 to 600 pgh to the top of the tank. Most all single 1 inch drains can handle 550 to 650 pgh. My 75 is running a 1250 pgh pump with 600 pgh to the tank.
